The good folk of World Magic Shop have got loads of excellent DVDs on special (50% off) at the moment. I saw this David Regal one (which I bought some time ago and have really enjoyed) at only £13. Plenty more to choose from.
We thought the old site was getting a bit tired and busy, so here’s a new look for the site. Let us know what you think and if there are things we can improve. We’ll probably be tinkering with it a bit over the coming days and weeks.
It was very sad to hear of the passing of Ali Bongo on Sunday. You can read a good obituary at The Telegraph. Although this is slightly off topic for us, I thought I would post a tribute video of Ali in his most well-known role, The Shriek of Araby. Enjoy…
Peter Duffie has got his two for one offer back for a limited time. Buy any item and get a second item of same value or less for free. Check out www.peterduffie.com (one volume I would thoroughly recommend is ‘Effortless Card Magic’ which does what it says on the tin!)
Our friends at Trickshop.com have got two new free downloads this week – ‘Half a dozen Hummers’ (by Bob Hummer) and Harry Canar’s Poker Deal. Absolutely free – so worth a look – and plenty of other strong effects, books and magazines available too. Visit Trickshop.com and follow the link to the ‘all in one order page’ (just under the search box) then scroll down to the ‘Specials’ section.
We’ve just had the first word on the forthcoming deck from BBM (they have a box shot on their site). More details will follow, but for now here’s a sneaky preview…
A friend performed this at the club the other day and it was amazing. In essence a photograph which includes a watch proves to show the exact time that the spectator selects. Only one photograph, in view all the time. Very clever working and extremely easy to do – so you can concentrate on the presentation. My kind of trick. £64.99
This is another ‘old’ trick which deserves to be rediscovered. A spectator’s merely thought of card totally vanishes from your hands. It was watching Eugene Burger perform a variation on this that convinced me of its value. An easy and impressive version of the Princess Card Trick. Only £12.97
This is a new one and is available as an instant download. Very visual. Burn the whole deck and restore just the spectator’s card. Watch the demo for a great effect. £9.99.
